Consider the functions $f , g : \mathbb { R } \rightarrow \mathbb { R }$ defined by
$$f ( x ) = x ^ { 2 } + \frac { 5 } { 12 } \quad \text { and } \quad g ( x ) = \begin{cases} 2 \left( 1 - \frac { 4 | x | } { 3 } \right) , & | x | \leq \frac { 3 } { 4 } \\ 0 , & | x | > \frac { 3 } { 4 } \end{cases}$$
If $\alpha$ is the area of the region
$$\left\{ ( x , y ) \in \mathbb { R } \times \mathbb { R } : | x | \leq \frac { 3 } { 4 } , 0 \leq y \leq \min \{ f ( x ) , g ( x ) \} \right\}$$
then the value of $9 \alpha$ is $\_\_\_\_$ .
